[PATCH v5] cmd: bootm: add ELF file support

Fri Jun 21 13:42:10 CEST 2024


Some operating systems (e.g. seL4) and embedded applications are ELF
images. It is convenient to use FIT-images to implement trusted boot.
Added "elf" image type for booting using bootm command.

v5:
	used func from lib/elf.c to avoid dependency form CLI
